Youth and Really Raw Weight Loss

[Guest guest]

The Youthful Lure of Living, Raw Foods

 

Living, raw foods are now on everybody's lips, in everyone's mouth

and body! Many celebrities have adopted the very healthy lifestyle

that raw fruits, vegetables, nuts and seeds offer.

 

Celebrities like Demi Moore, Anthony Kiedis of the Red Hot Chili

Peppers, Nicole Kidman, Tom Cruise, Angelina Jolie, Drew Barrymore,

Alicia Silverstone, Sting, Angela Basset, Bryan Adams, Woody

Harrelson, Robin Williams, Martina Navratilova, Donna Karan, Carol

Alt and Denise Austin and many others are embracing the living raw

way of life. And for good reason. All have learned that every

nutrient they require for youthfulness, health and well-being is

available in living, raw foods.

 

Demi Moore stole the show on Charlie's Angels Full Throttle alongside

actresses half her age. How? She had been on the living raw food

diet for many years. She also has a husband 15 years her junior!

How could a 40 year old Moore make a comeback with a role in which

she bares almost all in a bikini next to 20 something actresses and

look just as good if not better? RAW,LIVING FOODS.

 

What does a raw, living foods diet consist of? Raw vegetables,

fruits, nuts, seeds and many times for certain people raw fish, diary

products and meats. All raw, living foods diets are at least 70% raw

foods - non cooked, processed, heated, filtered or treated in any

manner, except washing or searing in the case of fish and meats.

Contrary to what most people believe followers of raw, living foods

diets can be for vegetarians (vegans), ovo-lacto vegetarians (RAW

milk, cheese, cream, butter and eggs included), and non-vegetarians.

The benefits of raw, living foods diets are plentiful. According to

proponents and followers, the raw, living foods diet:

toxins and utilize fats for energy

* Defines mental processes and thinking more clearly

* Promotes well-being and good health as well as allows body to heal

itself from a variety of disorders and diseases

 

 

 

REALLY RAW WEIGHT LOSS

 

Imagine you can eat anything you want. Imagine you can eat as much

as you want and not gain an ounce in most cases. Imagine losing

between 6 -25 lbs per week AND keeping those pounds off! Imagine a

diet of living, enzyme-rich, raw foods.

 

Some with digestive or glandular disorders will not lose weight as

quickly or easily, but they will usually still shed unnecessary

weight. And their bodies will strive to heal on raw, live foods as

it begins to rebalance, repair and rejuvenate. When first start

eating raw foods, most people will need time to cleanse, detoxify and

rebuild their digestive system before noticing substantial weight

loss.

 

Excess weight is not an isolated issue, but is part of your " whole

being. " An imbalance in one part of the body affects your entire

system. Weight is a " symptom " of what is going on with your

elimination system, glandular system, emotions, sleep patterns,

stress levels, liver, colon, skin, lungs, blood, spirit and " chi " or

energy levels.

 

The enzymes found naturally in whole, live, raw foods help with

obesity at the " whole being " level. Enzymes do much more in your body

than help digest food. Enzymes are responsible for every single

chemical reaction in every single cell of your body. All your

minerals, vitamins, trace-elements, co-enzymes, neurotransmitters

and hormones cannot do their jobs without enzymes. You can't lift an

arm or think one thought without the help of enzymes. You could say

that enzymes are, biologically speaking, the source of life. A diet

without a source of live enzymes is removed from the source of life.

 

All removed from their source of life slowly begin to die. For us,

that leads to chronic dis-ease, excessive weight gain, and

depression - many of the maladies that plague the modern world today.

One of the " magic bullets " for easy weight loss is the simple, but

complex action of enzymes. For example, lipase, a fat splitting

enzyme, is found abundantly in raw, live foods. However, few of us

eat enough raw foods to get enough lipase to burn even a normal

amount of fat, not to mention any excess. Lipase helps your body in

digestion, fat distribution and fat burning for energy. Lipase breaks

down and dissolves fat throughout the body. Without lipase, fat

stagnates and accumulates. You can see it on your hips, thighs,

buttocks and the stomach.

 

Protease is another enzyme for maintaining a healthy body. Protease

helps break down proteins and eliminate toxins. Eliminating toxins is

essential when you are burning fat. Your body stores excess toxins in

body fat. As your body begins to burn this fat the toxins are

released into your system. This can sometimes cause water retention

and bloating. Protease attacks and eliminates toxins. You must have

plenty of protease during fat loss.

 

Iif you cannot get enough nutrition from the food you take in, which

is what happens when you cook food, your body receives a signal that

it needs to store fat to prevent starvation and will hold on to even

more fat. It will also send a signal that you are hungry. This series

of signals results in a vicious cycle of eating more and more and

still feeling hungry. Combine the physical effects with the mental

effects of poor digestion and insufficient enzymes with your natural

reaction to all of this emotionally. You have dis-ease, mental,

physical, emotional or spiritual and often, all four at once, because

you are an integrated living being.

 

If you eat 100% fresh raw, whole foods, then you obtain adequate

nutrition and enough enzymes to digest foods properly. If you eat

cooked foods, you'll be eating " dead foods " that have NO enzymes.

Your body then must scavenge enzymes for digestion from other

metabolic processes in your body, wasting energy and resources.

Living foods enzymes will over time restore energy and stamina and

rebuild your healthy metabolism of all nutrients, including fats.

Today's modern lifestyle KILLS enzymes in more ways than you would

imagine. Stress can damage enzymes. Food additives can kill them.

Frequent air travel, work outs, coffee breaks, air pollution, food

irradiation and poor sleep - all kill enzymes. No wonder we are

enzyme deficient! Eating raw, live, enzyme-rich foods is more than

just a weight loss or digestion issue - it affects your whole life,

your whole being. When you eat living, raw foods you begin your life

of bliss.

 

The easiest, fastest and most natural weight loss program that also

nourishes your body is a blissful raw, living, whole food diet.

 

Blissed be, Annie
